Description: both the Gloria and Credo are "compressed" or "telescoped" settings of the mass text; the recitation of the ordinary is accelerated by having the various sections of the choir sing different words at the same time. As a result, the elongated setting of the Gloria by the composer's brother is an often preferred alternative, if the ecclesiastical propriety of hearing the text one word at a time is to be observed!
